The big name release on the Nintendo eShop this week is the long awaited Wii Fit U. Set for release tomorrow, Wii Fit U is delivered in a digital package not too dissimilar to the Xbox 360 Kinect’s Nike+ Trainer. Beginning tomorrow Wii U owners will be able to download a free thirty one day trial of Wii Fit U, but that’s not all that’s coming this week.

Also available this week are Super Castlevania IV and Hotel Transylvania for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS respectively, along with a new price promotion on a number of popular titles. This includes big names from both Capcom and Ubisoft, and the details of these and all other additions to the Nintendo eShop follow below. Electronic Theatre will keep you updated with all the latest releases on Nintendo’s digital distribution platforms.
